2 Laos is an agriculture based -Population: 6.3 million (49 ethnic groups) -Two-third of population living in rural areas (74% average revenue < USD 2 a day) -Agriculture employs > 75% of the labor force. -Agriculture contributes up to 26% of the GDP in 2012
3 1. Lao Census of Agriculture 2010/11: an overview The Lao Census of Agriculture 2010/11 was the second agricultural census undertaken in Lao PDR. There have been many changes in agriculture sector since the first census was conducted in 1998/99 and it was important to capture the changes through another census so as to help devise agriculture development policies and future strategies. The LCA 2010/11 was much more comprehensive, with significant improvements in the system of data collection as well as coverage of themes and topics. It was based on a critical review of the LCA 1998/99 by the MAF, with technical inputs and support provided by the FAO, including the recommendations of an Agricultural Statistics Expert
4 LCA 2010/11: three major components Data component 1. Village component: a survey of all villages in the country to collect data from village heads on rural infrastructure and services (8662 villages) 2. Household component: a survey of all private households in Lao PDR to collect basic data on crops and livestock (complete enumeration of over 1 million households) 3. Sample farm household component: a sample survey of farm households to collect detailed data on agricultural activities Type/ nature of data collected Access to electricity, irrigation facilities, credit facilities, schools, health facilities, agricultural markets, public services and community facilities, transport links, sale of agricultural produce, shifting cultivation practices, sources of drinking water, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)-affected agricultural land, resettlement, soil degradation, weather patterns, natural disasters and changes in living standards Identification of farm households, area of agricultural land, area irrigated, area of temporary crops, areas of productive and nonproductive permanent crops, livestock numbers by type, purpose of agricultural production, sale of agricultural production, ownership of tractor and water pump, aquaculture and capture fisheries, household size, sex, age and ethnic group of household head, presence of forest land and primary source of income Farm size, land tenure, land fragmentation, land use, shifting and rotating cultivation, use of crop inputs, age, sex and purpose of livestock by type, vaccination, use of credit, agricultural marketing, certified agricultural produce, farm population by age and sex, employment of farm population, farm management, forestry activities and types of fishing activities
5 LCA 2010/11 - Main Topics covered 1. Farm households Numbers- Farm & Non-Farm HHs 2. Land holdings Area, size and structure of land holdings, land holdings by type of village 3. Crops 4. Irrigation 5. Livestock 6. Farm practices/ services No of growers and area grown with temporary and permanent crops, rice growers and type of rice grown Status and use of irrigation by rice growers by type of villages and land location No of households growing and type of livestock and purpose of growing livestock Sale of agricultural produce, use of selected farm machinery, credit, fertilizers, pesticides by farm households, sources of farm information 7.

Fisheries Farm households engaged in aquaculture and capture fishing 11. Forestry 12. Village infrastructure Dependence on forests: own forest and public forests and type of products extracted and sale of forest produce Villagers access to selected infrastructure and services: road, primary health, water supply, electricity, irrigation, markets, development projects
6 Thematic reports based on LCA 2010/11 1. Profile of farm households in Lao PDR. 2. Land use, cropping pattern changes and agricultural performance in Lao PDR. 3. Livestock sector in Lao PDR. 4. Forestry, aquaculture and fisheries sectors in Lao PDR. 5. Status of Infrastructure and Development Constraints in the Lao PDR Villages. 6. Gender in Agriculture in Lao PDR.

The proportion of urban households varied between regions: Central region showing the highest (38%) compared to North (25%) and South (22%). The larger proportion of urban farm households in the Central region was mainly attributable to Vientiane Capital, where the proportion of urban farm households was 69%, compared with less than 30% in others.

With a sizeable increase in forest land area brought under farm households, the average size of forest area per farm had increased from 0.99 ha during 1998/99 to 1.3 ha during 2010/11.
20 Household dependence on aquaculture and fisheries: evidence from LCA 2010/11 Both rounds of Agri. Census reported that almost 65% to70% of the households are engaged in aquaculture and fishing as a part-time activity to add to the household food security as well as to supplement the household income and thereby ensure livelihood security. There was a 13% increase in the number of farm households engaged in capture fishing between 1999 and 2011 (1% per annum), with higher proportions in the northern provinces The period witnessed about 23% increase (1.7% per annum) in the number of aquaculture holdings and in area under aquaculture at the national level with much of the area increase reported from the central provinces. As a result of the increase in area brought under aquaculture activities, there was also a notable increase in the average size of aquaculture holdings, with southern and northern provinces having larger holdings than in the northern region.

Avg. Aqua. Hold. Size (ha) 1998/ / (%) annual change / / (%) annual change / / Although capture fishing is a major secondary activity of farm households, the share of farm HHs with their own aquaculture holdings was only about 9% at the national level This suggests that the vast majority depend upon common pool water sources for capture fishing. The majority (around two thirds) of farm households undertake capture fishing and aquaculture mainly for own consumption.
